Pacers vs. Heat Preview: Pacers back home, again to face short-handed Heat

The Indiana Pacers (3-5) return home for the first of four consecutive games at the Fieldhouse when they host the Miami Heat (4-5) on Friday night.

The Pacers are relatively healthy after their road trip, pending the questionable status of Aaron Nesmith. As for the Heat, they left Jimmy Butler home, along with Victor Oldadipo. Bam Adebayo is questionable, but expecting to play according to Eric Spoelstra.

Regardless, this sets up as a quality backcourt matchup with Kevin Lowry and Tyler Herro matching up against Tyrese Haliburton and his backcourt posse of Duarte/Mathurin.
